Baruch 2:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord by turning away, each of us, from the thoughts of his wicked heart. ⁹ And the Lord has kept the calamities ready, and the Lord has brought them upon us, for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he has commanded us to do. ¹⁰ Yet we have not obeyed his voice, to walk in the statutes of the Lord which he set before us.
